Jaymay is a New York based, antifolk, singer/songwriter who crafts well-constructed acoustic treats for the ears. As great as her recorded tracks are, I really think she excels in her live performances. She has a couple of EPs, two of which are available for purchase. Her self-released, official debut EP Sea Green, See Blue is available via iTunes and InSound and her split EP with singer/songwriter Kayoko is available from Amazon or by contacting her through MySpace. Jaymay was recently signed to Heavenly Records which is distributed by EMI.
I also posted an entry about her over at W♥M.

Regina Spektor is a Russian-born New Yorker who's a classically trained pianist and is another musician that's part of the anti-folk scene. Most of her songs are piano-driven that are astounding to listen to and is known for her "hiccups" which is apparent in "Edit". When she first moved to America as a child, she didn't understand English at all. After awhile, she started to pick it up, but pretended she didn't understand a word until she was asked a question in English and she answered it... in English. She's also a fan of The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players!

"Kaleidoscope"
MySpace | YouTube
TV ads have been featuring some good music lately; some are even exclusive to the company (Beacon Street Studios' "Say Hey" for BP and Cat Power's cover of "How Can I Tell You" by Cat Stevens for DeBeers). I was watching the tube recently and the song in JCPenney's commercial for Father's Day caught my attention. Thanks to AdTunes, I found the song I was looking for. It's titled "Kaleidoscope" and it's by a band from NYC called The Sleepy Rebels. They don't have an official site, only a MySpace page (the lyrics are on there too). So, Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there.
